A makeshift pyrotechnics factory near Bogota, Colombia has exploded, killing four and injuring at least 30 more.

The blast tore through both floors of the house and also damaged nearby buildings and vehicles.

Several gas cylinders exploded around 1pm in a house in a town west of Bogota.

The building was being used to manufacture wicks and gunpowder for “tejo,” a game that involves throwing a metal disc at packets of gunpowder.

At least 16 of the injured were minors, according to district health authorities, who said most of the injuries were caused by the shock wave from the blast.

Authorities have ruled out a deliberate attack but are still investigating what caused the explosion.

Looks like they must have reported the fire. The first truck just pulls to a stop with it's lights flashing when the explosion occurs.....

Nice fire engine. That is a $1500 bell on the front.
